Ping from ESP8266 towards external IP and measure Latency. - Newbie

[2BECKHAM2]

Dear Team,

I'm a newbie to micropython and with 1.9.3 in ESP8266 D1 mini. I' able to connect to Wi-Fi network and would like to measure / capture the latency towards external IP for ex: 8.8.8.8 and ftp the details of the avg ping response to another server.

Is this possible in micropython?. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know nobody has written ping code in MicroPython so you'll need to write your own. I can't see any fundamental issues but there is a degree of grunt work involved. A starting point is to read up on the ping protocol e.g. here.
